Native Americans from in and around Baltimore and from as far away as Cleveland, Ohio, came together Saturday to celebrate their 42nd annual Pow Wow.

It featured various cultural presentations; gorgeous colored native outfits; along with music, singing, drum-beating, dancing and vendors too. The event was sponsored by the Baltimore American Indian Center, which is located in Fells Point.

The joy-filled Pow Wow program opened up with a “Grand Entry.” It was led by a color guard of Vietnam War Veterans; followed by dancers, both male and female, including youngsters.

A capacity crowd was on hand to celebrate and enliven the spirited program.
